in certain cases, are stricken out.

Uses OF Luxury.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
Murmurs against luxury may be
heard among people in straintened
circumstances when the lavish ex-
penditures and sumptuous pleasures
of great society entertainments are
discussed. Butts persons are prone
to forget that these expenditures,
that seem so prodigal, 90 in large
part to benefit the working people.
If such brilliant evenings as that at
Mr.. Robert Garrett's or Mr., John
Robinson's were. not given, and the
money that they cost simply put
away, the merchants and mechanics
of various sorts would not be better
off, but worse off. One hardly real
ises how much money may change
hands in consequence of great en-
tertainment or series of entertain
ments. Of the five or six hundred
guests, nearly all must have some
costly preparation in dress to make.
A large proportion of the toilets are
entirely new. The making of these
dresses and consumption of the raw
material benefit large variety of
occupations. The spinner and weaver
the lace maker, the dressmaker, the
glOvemaker, shoemaker and count
less other workers, get better prices
for their work because of the needs
Of luxury. Every duck hunter and

count of brilliant season. The house
decorator, the florist, the musician,
the caterer, the cOnfectiOner and
others feel the stimulus of increased
business in their respective depart
ments Of industry.
1t is thus also with a charity ball,
1t benefits not merely the poor and
destitute by the fund that it raises,
but 1t benefits workers of all sorts In

and thus business is dull. If the re-
public were to exceed the empire in
the splendor of its entertainments, 1t
would doubtless be more popular
with the merchants OF Paris than the
empire ever was.
1t has often happened when some
industry was depressed that a good
start has been given to it by making
IL for awhile a fashion. For example,
the Irish linen trade was once pulled
out of ruin by a series of Irish linen
balls. Calico balls and others have
also accomplished good results in the
same way.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-The con-

was also passed to-day by the House.
The vote was 2l9 in favor of the bill
and Al against it.
The bill, as agreed upon by both
Houses of Congress, in the first Sec
ton applies the provisions of the act
to any common carrier transporting
passengers by rail, or partly by rail,
and partly by water when both are

We are not to be understood as
saying that ball is the best and
wisest way of spending money, but
we do say that it is better for the
wealthy to put part of their revenues
into luxurious expenditure than to
go on rolling up money and locking
it up, and when large sums are spent
thus in events that give brilliancy to
Baltimore life they benefit the city
very appreciably.

1t is easy to ask Il conundrum, but
it is not always so easy to give the

came Irying's beautiful comparison,
but no one seemed able to put it into
words. The answer. 1.-THE greater

certainly creditable sentiment, but
the Judge unfortunately got things
mixed, and in his, confusion said
"The closer she clings theDgreater tire

The FaYorite Number Ten.

The reason why ten is a favorite-
perhaps the most favorite-number is
obvious enough, namely, that we
have ten fingers. When we begin to
count we almost of necessity do so
with our fingers if we have a large
number Of things to count, say a
flock Ofsheep, we instinctiveIy divide
them into tens, or perhaps into scores;
if the number of things he very large
the collecting of tens are naturally
grouped again by tens, and so we
have hundreds. A further grouping
of hundreds leads to thousands, and
so forth. Thus we get the ordinary
system of Enumeration, and there can
he no manner of doubt that mans
ten fingers are the root of it.
We are told in treatises on arith-
metic that it would have been much
more convenient If we had agreed to
count by twelve instead of by tens ;
and possibly this may be true. But,
if it be, we have SO much the more
evidence, if evidence be needed, that
the basis of the system of counting
was not determined by theoretical
considerations, hut by the simple ele-
mentary fact of the number of hnman
digits being ten and not twelve.
Nevertheless twelve has its turn as a
favorte number; we often count by
dozens, and the reason probably is
that twelve admits of being quarter
ed as well as haIved, which in many
cases is an advantage. Bishop Car.

The Rabbit Beat the Dog,

Between hare and hound there is
all the difference bet weakness
and strengthened, as the world goes,
the former usually gets the worst of
it. The Creator, however, has given
cunning to the weaker party, and this
sometimes makes him more than a
match for his prosecutor.
A laughable instance of this occur
ed awhile ago at a rabbit hunt near
H0bOkus, N. j.
The hound started the "cOttou tail"
in a piece of short brush on a side
hill. The hunter could witness the
race at great distance and saw the
rabbit making circle. AS he APP
peared emerging from the nrush he
was seen to stop suddenly. On rush
ed the hound and AS he lowered his
head to seize the little animal, the
rabbit gave spring to one side and
the dog Doubled up like a ball.
While he was letting himself out the
rabbit was making time on the back
track.
The hound was soon in full pursuit
rgain, but the rabbit led the dog to
where two saplings grew close to-
gether from an old root, He then
stopped as before and waited until
the uOg was almost hpon him, when
he leaped between the two saplings,
while the dog attempted to follow.
But there was barely room for the
rabbit, and the hound was caught in
the crotch and badly injured. The
rabbit turned and looked at his enc
my minute and was soon lost in the
thicket. The dog started Immediate
for home, and no amount of coaxing
could induce him to continue the
hunt.

Coal Mines Shut Down.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 25.-The coal
operators along the Baltimore and
Ohio district have been compelled to
close down a number of their works
on account of a scarcity of cars. They
say that it is almost impossible to get
cars from the West and that the sid
ings at many of the mills are full of
unloaded cars. The scarcity of cars
has been noticeable within the last
few days. An operator in speaking
of the situation to-day, said: 1.-THE
works which had to shut down are
the West Newton, Youghiogheny,
Slope. Republic, Bigleys, Oaceola and
Youghiogheny." By the closing
down of these works there are about
1000 miners thrown out of employ
ment. 1t is hard to tell when the
works will be able to start up again.
